And still, Arkenia is no closer to salvation. Loyalists of the Lytan Empire embedded within Arkenia itself have taken Arkenridge and nearly conquered Talenport in a violent coup.
Samuel Mutton now finds the screws tightened even harder as the Western Imperialists close in on Arkenridge Manor, where his wife hides beyond his aid.
In Falconreach, the Imperial Capital, Aldren Mal and Mayla Yin inch toward to the Emperor's seat of power, each step bringing them closer to danger. For Aldren, Mayla, and Arkenia.
The clock is ticking. Reckoning is nigh.
